SHANGHAI RESTAURANT WEEK - Bon Vivant

Last stop of the Shanghai Restaurant Week fine dining marathon is Bon Vivant by celebrity chef Justin Quek. This modern French cuisine with Asian twist offers exactly what I was craving for. Here's what we had:

Duck confit salad with green apple and chopped hazelnut X 2

Grilled beef tenderloin with seasonal vegetable black pepper sauce

Singapore king prawn laksa

Opera cake

Hazelnut mousse with caramel ice cream

Americano coffee

I have to admit that I was also tempted to try their signature foie gras xiao long bao (steamed dumplings), but was craving for a light, crispy salad with duck. And what a choice: the added hazelnut and green apple slices with just the right ratio of salad/dressing made this starter so appetizing!

Both mine and hubby's main dish were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I think a little more, I would have licked my bowl...And our desserts ended our meal and the restaurant week on a sweet note!
